Capabilities
In addition to raw castings, we offer various machining and finishing services, such as decoring, CNC sawing, grinding, vibratory finishing, heat treating, machining, and plating. These services are completed with the same care and professionalism that has allowed us to grow into an industry leader as a casting supplier to many different industrial markets.
Simulation
Through advanced simulation software, we meticulously model and analyze every aspect of the casting process, ensuring accuracy and reliability in our predictions. These simulations empower us to hone our processes, leading to improved launch efficiency and reduced time to market. Clients can trust Epcor Foundry to deliver simulation solutions that drive efficiency, minimize costs, and ultimately result in superior aluminum castings.
Molding
Our automatic molding lines streamline production, ensuring consistency and repeatability with every mold. With melt rates surpassing molding output, we achieve peak throughput without compromising on the integrity of our products. The integration of robotic pouring further enhances our capabilities, ensuring uniformity and accuracy in every pour. Moreover, the tenure of our employees brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every project, guaranteeing that each casting meets your expectations.
Finishing
Epcor Foundry boasts an array of advanced production capabilities, including PLC-controlled core removal, 5-axis CNC saws, trim cells, tumble blasting, and meticulous inspection processes. With PLC-controlled core removal, we ensure precise and efficient extraction of cores from castings, enhancing overall quality and consistency. Our 5-axis CNC saws enable us to achieve intricate cuts on complex geometries with unparalleled accuracy. Trim cells further streamline our production process, allowing for efficient trimming and finishing of your components. Tumble blasting provides a uniform surface finish, while our rigorous inspection procedures guarantee the highest quality standards are met before components leave our facility.
